Worth the wait! Lucky for us you fixed your techie problems. I prefer the new link format, even easier to use. My favorites this week are the Overgrown Church and the Lady Anatomist.
Go to comment on this one for a little bit about her son • A visit to the waxworks run by Mrs. Wright, America's first sculptor, a spy, and "queen of sluts."
As always, thanks for the inclusion in such wonderful company! You two are the BEST at finding interesting stuff!! :)
Many thanks for your comments - and support with the tech stuff. NOT my favorite part of computers...
I made the list of links! This is a great day :D
Totally agree about the techy part of blogging, sometimes it just gets in the way of all the cool stuff you want to put out there. It's the bit that feels like 'work' compared to the research and writing.
As Anonymous said, well worth the wait. I particularly like John Steinbeck's advice to writers (and to his son, about love!), and the article about the Black and Tans. Thanks again for great sites to visit.
